Beets Me!

I snapped these colorful .....BEETS??? at the Pepper Place Holiday Market a few weeks ago. This city girl is guessing, but I'm sure some of my more knowledgeable readers will set me straight if I'm off base on this. Nevertheless, you gotta love the color!

Absolutely.Beta vulgaris in its many forms.Don't tell me you've never cooked beetroot...they're as healthy as and dead easy.Here's a recipe from Bill Granger that we do http://bit.ly/hwDhGTThe yellow ones are good because they don't lose their colour.(You also don't pee pink....)

Pink? Everytime I eat it.OOOOH! I see what you're asking...The local market garden grows yellow and orange beets for one of the flash restaurants, so they're a good source.The Todd brothers in Nelson do the same for Matt Boutery's place in Richmond

Love it .. we dont see beets in our farmer's market stalls . I wonder why .. they'd contrast nicely with the eggplants .. I hope the people at Pepper Place appreciate all the free press you give them ...

Mrs. C loves beets. I've never completely made up my mind about them. I remember being completely grossed out the one time we went to Australia when we learned that the locals usually put sliced beets and mayo on their burgers. I'm comimg around, though.

How incredible. Never seen so many different colours in beets. I tried a long beetroot recently - as opposed to a round one (!) but it had a weird texture and cost three times as much as the usual. Love the shot.

WELCOME!

Thank you for visiting Birmingham Through My Lens. In June,2008 I created Birmingham Alabama Daily Photo and posted a photo a day via the City Daily Photo community until January 2, 2016. This blog, although not daily, is a place where I will share my photographic journey from my hometown.

DO YOU LOVE PARIS? SO DO I!
